Sansom Studios is a musician-led recording space in Birmingham, designed to help people make the best music they can. Whether you're recording a full band live, building a track layer by layer, or getting your mix and master ready for release, we offer the tools, space and support to make it happen.

​

Founded by brothers Olly and Elliott Sansom, the studio grew out of years spent on both sides of the glass - playing, producing, engineering and writing. After making our earliest recordings in a garage, we invested in building a purpose-designed studio from the ground up. The result is one of Birmingham’s best-equipped recording spaces, created with artists in mind and shaped by our own experiences as musicians.

 

We’ve created a space that feels open, inspiring and great to play in. The live room is big enough for full-band sessions, but adaptable enough for solo artists too. High ceilings give the sound room to breathe, and we can shape the acoustics to suit whatever you’re working on - whether that’s a tight vocal take or a dynamic group performance. With a blend of modern tools and classic analogue gear, everything is set up to help you feel comfortable, creative and in control of your sound.

​

Sessions at Sansom Studios are personal, creative and collaborative. That could mean setting up for a full live take, trying out a more experimental recording setup, or spending time with an artist to help refine the sound they’re reaching for. We bring experience, attention to detail, and a calm, focused atmosphere that lets people do their best work.

​

While much of our work is commercial, we’re also committed to supporting new and independent voices. Our Spotlight on Birmingham project offers emerging artists the chance to record in a professional setting, connect with mentors, and build their confidence and skills in a way that feels authentic and sustainable. It’s one part of a wider mission to be more than just a studio - to be a home for music in the city.

​

We’re proud of the records made here, and prouder still of the relationships built along the way. If you’re looking for a studio that feels like a creative partner - not just a place to press record - we’d love to work with you.
